systemd is more of a set of products and software components branded under a single name rather than a single thing.
systemd itself is rather simple, as most other pieces systemd-* software, like systemd-boot, systemd-networkd and systemd-resolvd. these are usually more stable and less bloated than more popular alternatives

As long as they can work independently, yes. If they are modular and a distro admin (or just a computer admin) can choose to install and use systemd-x but not install or use systemd-y, we are in good business

Now if you have to take a few you don't like or need to use so that the one component you do want works, then no

I honestly don't know enough of systemd to say either way

Most of systemd stuff is decoupled well. You don't need to use networkd to make use of resolved for example.
